Spare Change Warehouse Direct, Burnside

Date:

Spare Change Warehouse Direct is an amazing Op Shop, in an amazing location, and even better deals. 

Located in my personal favourite op shopping area, Burnside, Spare Change Warehouse DIrect is just a 20 minute drive from Footscray, surrounded by a massive range of great Op Ahops.

Spare Change aims to be a shop where customers can find anything and everything at a bargain, and as a regular at this store, I can say it is a great one! While it definitely looks a bit confronting on entry, with row after row and boxes of so many great things, it’s a trouble just figuring out where to start! But once you get started, you won’t want to stop. 

One of the main things that I seem to find plenty of at this store is dresses. There’s a great range of beautiful dresses for all occasions; long dresses, perfect for upcoming family festivities, and short dresses, perfect for this summer heat!

But there are so many other great items on offer. While it might not be the season for it, this Op Shop usually exhibits some really nice coats and jackets. 

On my last venture there, I secured a stunning dark brown suede jacket. Super trendy and definitely an autumn/winter staple. 

The bags this store has on offer are also spectacular. From tiny shoulder bags to backpacks to suitcases, you’ll find s0omething perfect for a night out, a trip away or even preparing for back to school. 

While my attention was on the clothes and accessories, this shop had a great kids section, with shelves and shelves of toys and picture books, all just waiting for a new home. 

While I mainly patrolled their extensive women’s section, this shop did also have a good range of men’s fashion with a particularly impressive range of mens jeans providing something for every age and style. 

The store is open seven days a week from 9–5pm but its location is the best thing about it. With four huge stores, all within walking distance of each other, you really have no excuse but to shop!.

OP SHOPPING
OP SHOPPING

By Ruby Fox

Everyone loves shopping, but with Cozzie Livs, global warming, micro-plastic pollution and overflowing landfills it’s important to find stores that are both affordable and sustainable. The perfect solution to both these problems? The good old Op Shop! For the next few months I’ll be visiting and reviewing Op Shops and second-hand stores from all over the westside and hopefully snare a bargain or two at the same time.

It's hard to find local stories because major news suppliers have economised by cutting local journalism. In addition, social media algorithms mean we have to work doubly hard to be seen.
